About This Unit
2013 Peterbilt 388 Tri-Drive Day Cab & Chassis — Wet Kit Equipped | Unit #3228
Ran from new under Mid Atlantic Energy Services. Full history, meticulously maintained, and coming off a fleet that kept records on everything. This is the kind of tri-drive that almost never hits the used market with a title this clean.
Why this truck stands out:
17,197 miles / 3,180 engine hours — this truck lived on the pad, not the highway. Chassis, driveline, and suspension have barely been broken in. You're buying a tri-drive with the road wear of a pickup.
388 set-forward front axle, vocational-spec — Pete built the 388 for operators who needed a workhorse, not a showpiece. Better weight distribution on the steer, tighter turning for lease roads, and the heavier-duty chassis spec from the factory. Exactly the right truck for patch work.
Tri-drive (8x6) configuration — proper heavy-haul setup for WV/PA/OH patch work, winter lease roads, and anywhere weight and traction matter more than fuel economy.
Wet kit plumbed and working — hydraulic reservoir, PTO-driven pump, and quick-connects already installed behind the cab. Drop it under a dump trailer, walking floor, pneumatic tanker, or any hydraulic-driven body and go to work today.
Cab & chassis — flat frame behind the cab is clean and ready for a body build, rolloff hoist, winch tractor conversion, or stays as-is for trailer work.
Dressed right — dual straight stacks, dual chrome air cleaners, chrome visor with cab lights, dual air horns, polished bumper, polished aluminum fuel tank. Day cab keeps it legal-length for tight lease roads.
Interior is honest — Peterbilt leather seats, full gauge package, manual transmission, CB already mounted. "Custom Built for MAES" plate on the dash. Pulled straight from service — no surprises, no auction-yard hiding.
